ME >>And your explanation of the Babi Yar memorial is...?<<
YOU >> I've inquired about this Babi Yar site in other fora. As it stands,
no one can provide any source of information other than Babi Yar being
mentioned in some poem. This is hardly evidence of mass murder. It seems as
though this Babi Yar legend originates from the same source that the
holocaust
myth evolved from: a Jewish/Zionist controlled media. I have talked (over
CompuServe) with a former Ukrainian resident who says the whole ordeal is a
publicity stunt. He wouldn't finger the perpetrators, but said the whole
thing of Nazis machine gunning Jews is a lie. Can you offer any source of
information about this Babi Yar?>>
MC:>>Perhaps we should begin with an SS report:<<
Your "report" was of absolutely NO substance. I want facts on Babi Yar!!!!!
Now stop beating around the bush and give them to me at once! If you want to
substantiate your "legend" then I suggest you come forward with some facts.
I'm sick and tired of being taken this way and then another on this Babi Yar.
Now the Jews, and their supporters like you, claim that there was some
dastardly act committed by the Germans against the Jews at this locale. All
I've been able to come up with is some mention of this place in a poem by
some
Jew or another. No facts at all. You want to speak of "reports" that offer
nothing specific about this mass grave site. I want specifics. If this
"atrocity" occurred as you and the Jews suggest then the evidence should be
overwhelming. I demand some evidence, not your "Freudian" power of
suggestion.

What "evidence", Mike? All I've ever seen in my debates in the fora is pure
testimony and conjecture. NO ONE has ever offered anything concrete. People
like you are quick to indict the Germans on documents like the "Wannsee
Protocol" but fail to see how similar documents can just as easily be used
against Jews. Am I really that far out of line? I'm being very serious. You
opt to cite a "document" that is unsigned, with no date, having no official

typewriter of that time. Is this REALLY your idea of hard evidence?

The ovens were of design for that period of history. This is what really
puzzles me about the "holocausters." They make all these ridiculous claims
about cremation rates and have not one shred of evidence to back them up.
They
depend on oral testimony, which is a farce when examined in detail, and the
Jewish controlled media to support their argument. I'll hold my position:
there is NOT ONE individual or group which can step forward in this forum and
provide conclusive, scientific, mechanical evidence that the Germans had a
"super-duper" crematoria capable of the rates alleged. Just you watch how
those who want to challenge me attempt to divert the issue. Fact is, they
have
no evidence. Fact is, several innocent German Nobels were murdered based upon
hearsay and lies! We'll have our justice!

Topf and Sons designed the Krema. And, they were of no special design. They
were typical of circa 1940 crematoria. I'd like to see one of these

were

The mechanics are one thing; the thermodynamics are another. First, its been
alleged that the Nazis some how collected this fat and did indeed pour it
over
the bodies. Why? According to your thermodynamic "grilling" the dripping fat
will somehow catch fire and incinerate the corpse. Just what was this
arrangement of ladling Jewish fat the Nazis wasted their time on? Second, I
don't care whether the fat "drips" or not, nor do thermodynamic processes. A
body "X" contains "X" amount of BTUs. Energy can only be transformed, it
cannot be created. And during transformation there is always loss (unless
those Nazis also broke the laws of physics). An average body takes a certain
amount of heat and time to cremate including any combustible matter it may
contain.

Maybe I expect to much? I saw a program on television last night where an
individual named Randi (his surname, BTW) has disproved every claim of
supernatural power to date. He has even offered a $10,000 prize to anyone who
can demonstrate such power. In this segment, there was a Christian preacher
who seemed to know intimate details of his studio audiences' lives. While
conducting his sermon, he would call out an individual's name and reveal
certain things that were troubling that person. The person would then march
to
the front of the stage where the minister would "pray" and exercise some
"supernatural" power and by placing his hand upon the person's forehead,
thrust him to the floor. Well, this Randi exposed the man as a fraud.
Apparently his wife had the audience participants fill out a questionnaire
and
asked them to mention anything that was troubling them. Then, by use of a
microphone concealed within the "Christian preacher's" ear she would direct
him who to call on with all the details. However, even after exposing the man
as a fraud, he was back on TV a short time later pulling the same stunt with
a
plentiful "flock." Randi (the one who exposed the fraud) said , with some
people it is no use attempting to deal with them in a logical manner.
"Believers" cannot be convinced otherwise, he said. No amount of scientific
data, logic or common sense will deter their belief. And that is what we are
dealing with as concerns the holocaust myth. These people are hard-core
believers in this thing. No amount of evidence, science, logic, or common
sense will change their mind.
During the TV program I'm referring to here the reporter queried Randi as to
what harm there was in people opting to belive in this or that even if
evidence suggested there was nothing supporting it. Randi responded, in so
many words, as saying that he felt there was something inherently wrong when
individuals relied upon nonsense for guidance, decision making, etc. That's
what we are dealing with, in some cases, over this holocaust lie. Some
obviously do it for racial-political reasons (and we can't blame them for
this) but many simply choose to believe in the lie in light of the facts.

The mechanics are one thing; the thermodynamics are another. First, its been
alleged that the Nazis some how collected this fat and did indeed pour it
over
the bodies. Why? According to your thermodynamic "grilling" the dripping fat
will somehow catch fire and incinerate the corpse. Just what was this
arrangement of ladling Jewish fat the Nazis wasted their time on? Second, I
don't care whether the fat "drips" or not, nor do thermodynamic processes. A
body "X" contains "X" amount of BTUs. Energy can only be transformed, it
cannot be created. And during transformation there is always loss (unless
those Nazis also broke the laws of physics). An average body takes a certain
amount of heat and time to cremate including any combustible matter it may
contain.

Maybe I expect to much? I saw a program on television last night where an
individual named Randi (his surname, BTW) has disproved every claim of
supernatural power to date. He has even offered a $10,000 prize to anyone who
can demonstrate such power. In this segment, there was a Christian preacher
who seemed to know intimate details of his studio audiences' lives. While
conducting his sermon, he would call out an individual's name and reveal
certain things that were troubling that person. The person would then march
to
the front of the stage where the minister would "pray" and exercise some
"supernatural" power and by placing his hand upon the person's forehead,
thrust him to the floor. Well, this Randi exposed the man as a fraud.
Apparently his wife had the audience participants fill out a questionnaire
and
asked them to mention anything that was troubling them. Then, by use of a
microphone concealed within the "Christian preacher's" ear she would direct
him who to call on with all the details. However, even after exposing the man
as a fraud, he was back on TV a short time later pulling the same stunt with
a
plentiful "flock." Randi (the one who exposed the fraud) said , with some
people it is no use attempting to deal with them in a logical manner.
"Believers" cannot be convinced otherwise, he said. No amount of scientific
data, logic or common sense will deter their belief. And that is what we are
dealing with as concerns the holocaust myth. These people are hard-core
believers in this thing. No amount of evidence, science, logic, or common
sense will change their mind.
During the TV program I'm referring to here the reporter queried Randi as to
what harm there was in people opting to belive in this or that even if
evidence suggested there was nothing supporting it. Randi responded, in so
many words, as saying that he felt there was something inherently wrong when
individuals relied upon nonsense for guidance, decision making, etc. That's
what we are dealing with, in some cases, over this holocaust lie. Some
obviously do it for racial-political reasons (and we can't blame them for
this) but many simply choose to believe in the lie in light of the facts.

I think there are some out there who truly believe in the holocaust. I'm sure
they are quite taken when first becoming exposed to those who declare it to be
a fraud. I know I was since I used to sincerely believe in the holocaust
myself. Those who believe, due to Zionist media control and other sources,
will eventually challenge the holocaust themselves if they continue to study
the subject in depth. But, I'm convinced that there are quite a number (many
you and spar with in this forum) who know the holocaust is a myth but defend
it for racial and political reasons. I don't blame them one bit for this. They
are doing what they must to protect their interests and agenda. All we must do
is continue to expose their mistruths and nature will take its course. The
holocaust myth is crashing down around them. An edifice that has served them
well for decades. Its not something they want to lose, understandably. Keep up

>>Aside from the design specifications of the manufacturer, and the original
blueprints (which you can see on page 66 of _Auschwitz, A History in
Photographs_),<<
So fill me in on these "design specifications". I have my own set of drawings
on the Krema both from Jewish sources and Revisionist. But, plan views reveal
nothing about the actual operation. All the evidence I have indicates the
Krema at Auschwitz-Birkenau were nothing out of the ordinary for circa 1940
crematoria. At least three individuals have conducted forensic examinations at
the site and made the same determination. Convergence, if it pleases you.
Things just do not mesh in this operation. I've have some photographs of the
retorts at Auschwitz-Birkenau and I agree with the findings of those who
conducted examinations there. Each retort was capable of handling one corpse.
We hear "testimony" that the Nazis stuffed up to three Jews, in the proper
proportions, in each retort. But this contradicts the design parameters. I've
heard it mentioned that the Nazis may have blended various kinds coke (?) to
achieve higher efficiencies but unless someone can come up with the particular
super-duper coke, the maximum temperature would be about 1600 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1400 is more practical. Modern crematoria operate at about 2000
degrees and take about 1.5 hours to cremate a corpse. I've heard the argument
about cold starts verses hot run conditions but no one has offered proof that
modern crematoria cool down to ambient temperature before cremating another
corpse. I have written twice to a crematoria and asked this question
specifically. Unfortunately, I've received no answer. I'm going attempt to
locate another which might solve the enigma.
So exactly how did the Nazis achieve such astronomical cremation rates based
upon the design parameters you mention here?

Come on, Mike. According to stolid holocausters the Nazis had all kinds of
unproven operations for cremating Jews. Like this one from Sigismund Bendel:
"Thick black smoke ascends from the pits. It all happens so quickly and is so
unimaginable that I think I am dreaming.......An HOUR (my emphasis) later
everything is back to normal. The men take the ashes out of the pits and make
a pile."
A dream indeed! Here we have the Nazis burning Jews in open pits and reducing
them, bones and all, to ashes in an hour! Impossible, and you know it. Then
you want me to believe that the Nazis sorted through piles of corpses stacking
them in groups of three: one woman, one man and one child for incineration in
the crematory. Now think about how fast this sorting process would have had to
have been to achieve the alleged rates of 12,000 Jews per day. What did the
Nazis do, que them up after sorting them accordingly, and then make a run at
it to set a world record? Why go to all that trouble when they could just
toss them in the pit and char them to ashes in one hour?
>>http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/m/mueller.f ilip
Mueller, 60-61; Klarsfield, 99-100<<
Klarsfeld? Isn't this the joker who printed and distributed that Pressac
fellow's book? I'll check the Web site for a good laugh. The Revisionists
destroyed Pressac.
>>But the well-constructed crematoria fell far
behind at a number of camps, and especially at Auschwitz in
1944. In August the total cremation reached a peak one day of
24,000, but still a bottleneck occurred. Camp authorities
needed an economic and fast method of corpse disposal, so they
again dug six huge pits beside Crematorium Five and reopened old
pits in the wood.<<
You still expect me to believe it takes less time to cremate bodies (to total
ash) in a pit as opposed to a crematory?
>>Thus, late in 1944, pit burning became the
chief method of corpse disposal. The pits had indentations at
one end from which human fat drained off. To keep the pits
burning, the stokers poured oil, alcohol, and large quantities
of boiling human fat over the bodies."<<
This is so ridiculous. The pits are said to have been about 20 feet deep.
However, the water table at Auschwitz-Birkenau is about 2 to 3 feet below the
ground! Then you add here that the pits were yet a bit deeper so as to drain
out the fat! Plus, something had to catch this "boiling" fat and convey it up
out of the trench, over the burning area of the pit, and discharge it back
down over the burning Jews! Can you imagine such a contraption? And why was it
necessary? Heck, old Bendel saw Jews reduced to ashes (bones and all) in about
an hour without this "device". At least he never mentioned it, and surely he
would have.

Modern crematories apply a direct flame application to the corpse. In this

are collected and shipped to the relatives of the deceased in most cases. But
what in the Hell does this have to do with the alleged cremation of the Jews

hearsay testimony is INADMISSIBLE in any respectable court of law. But what

>>What is wrong with an investigation if you have nothing to hide? What is
there to deny? Do you see where these questions lead?
So far as the historical facts are concerned, they have already been
investigated in great detail. They're in the history books for anyone who
wants to read them. One may dispute the numbers, but no one is denying what
happened:
The most reliable estimates put deaths of German POWs in American
custody at around 1% or 2% of those detained. Certainly, this figure is much
too high, and includes thousands of Germans who would have survived if given
adequate food, shelter and medical care. Those responsible, however, have the
excuse of being overwhelmed by millions of prisoners who surrendered in mass
in 1945.
It is strange that you seem more interested in these deaths than in
the murder of millions of innocent civilians by the Nazis, which Swiger,
Kleinsorg and Koch are stubbornly denying. This strikes me as an argument by
recrimination. Perhaps you have some connection with these gentlemen?

I think there are some out there who truly believe in the holocaust. I'm sure
they are quite taken when first becoming exposed to those who declare it to be
a fraud. I know I was since I used to sincerely believe in the holocaust
myself. Those who believe, due to Zionist media control and other sources,
will eventually challenge the holocaust themselves if they continue to study
the subject in depth. But, I'm convinced that there are quite a number (many
you and spar with in this forum) who know the holocaust is a myth but defend
it for racial and political reasons. I don't blame them one bit for this. They
are doing what they must to protect their interests and agenda. All we must do
is continue to expose their mistruths and nature will take its course. The
holocaust myth is crashing down around them. An edifice that has served them
well for decades. Its not something they want to lose, understandably. Keep up
the good work. BTW, do you live in South Dakota?

>> I believe I've asked Swiger for his definition
of "evidence," but I haven't seen a response yet.<<
Evidence: proof, either written or unwritten, of allegations at issue between
parties. It may be (a) direct or indirect, which latter includes
circumstantial evidence; (b) substantive, directed to proof of a distinct
fact, or corroborative, in support of previous evidence; (c) intrinsic,
internal, or extrinsic, not derived from anything to be found in the document
itself; (d) original or derivative, which passes through some channel, parol,
as opposed to original documents or evidence.
>>1. Does he (Swiger) reject all Nazi documentation?<<
No.
>>2. Does he accept some, but not all?<<
Yes.
>>3. What criteria are used?<<
This is a bit to broad.
<>
>>This is an easy one - Krema I was employed as a bomb-shelter, and then
restored following the war. Note Swiger talks in the plural... as if to pass
off the "fact" of these "reconstructions." Restoration does not equal
reconstruction.<<
Nice try. Krema one was a bomb shelter? What about the "gas chamber"? What's
this truth talk of the morgue doubling as an air raid shelter? You sound like
a "Nazi". The key point is, Mike, what people see today at Auschwitz is
supposed to be "reconstructed" or "restored" TO THE ORIGINAL. Don't try to
play word games when you're pinned in a corner. Three people have conducted
forensic examinations at this "original" site and their findings have
"converged" indicating NO gassings ever occurred there and the crematories
were of circa 1940 design and of nothing out of the ordinary. Your myth is
over, friend.
>>So the thing to do is to ask Mr. Swiger to define "scientific evidence." So
let's do that now Mr. Swiger.<<
Scientific evidence is self explanatory. Its not testimony, documentary,
hearsay, etc. What I fishing for is something that will add up. Let's focus on
the Krema. According to a "report" one body could be cremated every 5.52
minutes. If the Nazis used coke oven gas to carry out the cremation process
this claim is ludicrous since modern crematories take 1.5 hours to do the same
job at temperatures hundreds of degrees higher and the bones must still be
pulverized. Lets go ahead and assume that the Nazis stuffed 4 bodies in each
retort, although this totally contradicts the design data. So this means 43.48
bodies could be cremated in 1 hour. Can we consider loading and unloading time
here? If we can, this would mean that the actual burn rate was higher! I have
a real problem with people being sorted out in groups of three: one woman ,
one man, and one child and then manually loaded into the retort, burned, and
then the ashes and bones removed all in 5.52 minutes. This insults common
sense. All I'm asking for is a detailed, systematic design and operation that
validates such an absurd claim.

Well I do! It makes all the difference in the world to those who demand some

about says it all. There is no forensic or scientific evidence to support the
allegation. It all hinges on "testimony" like the following:
"According to the ADL - certified eyewitness and holocaust survivor, St. Filip
Muller, in his book "Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in a Gas Chamber" Nazi
doctors cut flesh off the Jews' legs and tossed the fresh cut flesh into
buckets at the crematorium........yet somehow the flesh was still alive, and
as St. Filip tells us, made the buckets jump around."
And I'm just supposed to accept this as fact, right? The holocaust myth was

It never happened in the first place. It's never been corroborated by
scientific and forensic evidence.
>> The FACT remains that the Nazis slaughtered MILLIONS (Jews and

Maybe so, but not at the rates alleged by the so called holocaust experts and
"eyewitnesses". Why do you think there is so much haggling between Jewish
sources over the rates and numbers? Some refuse to display themselves as fools
and claim the inflated numbers.
>>There are also many MASS GRAVES [containing up to 5,000, or more bodies each

No one denies this! But you are using slight of hand here by suggesting they
were all Jews "gassed" by the Nazis. Do you know that NOT ONE forensic
examination done to the corpses ever showed that they died of "gassing". The

supposedly "gassed" and cremated Jews. The process involved MUST stand up to

Shirer's book was the first book I read as relates to the Third Reich many

ground through it. Back in those days I still believed in the holocaust but I
must confess I did not consider the book worth much after having read it. I
remember reading one section in particular where two Russians are being
subjected to some sort of cold water test by a Nazi doctor (rubbish of
course). Anyway, there was a fairly detailed dialog between these two Russians
as they bobbed in ice water. After reading the crap, I couldn't help but
wonder just how Shirer knew exactly what they said. Keep in mind I was only
about 18 years old at the time. In retrospect, it is now obvious that Shirer's
book is a biased fairy tale written to promote the holocaust legend. Besides,
the revisionists have ripped him to shreds.

I've got no problem with court testimony. But just because such testimony is
entered into the record does not validate the testimony's content. Does this
not make sense to you? People like you act as though such documents represent
facts and truth simply because they have been entered as evidence.
You speak of a diary here. I find it quite interesting that you automatically
accept the entries in this diary. If this logic is consistent with you, then I
assume you accept the Anne Frank Diary as an absolute truth also? The Anne
Frank Diary is an obvious fraud. Although most of the public is not aware, the
"diary" was submitted as a tape recording. Now if a tape recording were
submitted for publication, based upon an alleged historical event, that
differed with your point of view would you challenge the accuracy of that
publication? I think you would, simply due to the fact that it did not support
your personal agenda. Now Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father, openly admits to
making, "changes" "alterations" "deletions" and "omissions" to the "diary". Is
it possible the "original" does not match Otto Frank's version? Is it possible
this Nazi diary you put so much faith in may have been faked or edited? It

I've read your posts concerning the cremation rates alleged by the
holocausters. I've discussed this issue with others in a different section of
this forum. Here is what puzzles me: When I ask for specific parameters
validating the claims of astronomical cremation rates all I get is more
"eyewitness" testimony. I'm so sick of testimony. If we were all to place
stock in mass testimony then "god" would be an absolute since there are hordes
of superstitious Christians out there more than willing to provide
"testimony". Is science and logic to be scrapped when it may offend the Jews?
I asked repeatedly for engineering details as to exactly how the Nazis were
able to carry out this fantastic cremation rate. In Western law, the burden of
proof falls on the accuser. Why can't any of these exterminationists come up
with something plausible in this area. The laws of physics dictate here. We
are told the Auschwitz Museum was "reconstructed" according to the original
but if this is true NONE of the evidence there supports the claims. In fact,
it is damaging to the holocausters. The exterminationists argument lies
totally in the realm of "testimony." They have no physical, engineering or
scientific data to support their allegations. My goodness, is this where
Western man is headed? Are we going to permit unsubstantiated tales, lore,
legends, and myths dictate fact? Does it mean nothing to the lurkers of this
forum that NOT ONE corpse was determined to have died by "gassing" through
forensic examination? Is it superfluous that even the most modern crematoria
can only cremate a body in 1.5 hours and the bones must still be pulverized
yet the Germans supposedly could execute the whole process in about 10
minutes? Does the flag not go up when it is understood that the water table at
Auschwitz-Birkenau is merely 3 feet below the surface but the holocausters
claim Jews were burned in pits at this location which were nearly 20 feet
deep! What has happened to logic and common sense?

Horst is right on track here. Have you ever read Primo Levi's book, "Survival

in chapter 2, titled "On the Bottom". Here it says:
"He says that every Sunday there are concerts and football matches. He says
that whoever boxes well can become cook."
Now Levi certainly doesn't paint a pretty picture of Auschwitz but he doesn't
offer a shred of evidence of any Jew holocaust either. Most of the mentionings
of "gassings" are pure latrine gossip.

The question is very simple: WHO HAS SOMETHING TO LOSE OR WHO HAS SOMETHING
TO WIN?
The Revisionsist have nothing to gain, not a single cent except the truth.
Moreover they almost pay for everything out of their own pocketts.
The Holocausters however have everything to lose. The exposure of their lies,
public funding of the Halloween House on Washington's Mall, all kinds of
taxbreaks for donations to their cause, the anual payment of 4.8 Billion
Dollar to Israel most likely, because they could not hold the Holocaust ax any
longer over the heads of the american people and the politicians and much
more.

Cliff,
Would it be too much to ask you to get something right once in a while?
1) James (The Amazing) Randi has offered $50,000, not $10,000 to anyone who
can demonstrate true psychic powers.
2) He is not offering it currently, because one of the more rapacious frauds
has tied him up in endless lawsuits. Just losing wasn't enough to stop him,
and Randi has had to use his funds to fight these foolish actions.
3) I know James Randi. I brought Randi online here on CompuServe. Randi is a
rational man par excellance, and has no sympathy for such foolishness as
holocaust denial.

>>Sorry for the monetary blunder. I find your information about this NYT
reporter very interesting. To the best of your knowledge, has there ever been
any forensic evidence of mass graves full of Jews at this Babi Yar?<<
I don't think so. The only mass-graves I have ever seen, are in
Bergen-Belsen. Who and why these 'victims' are there, I have no detailed
accounts of them . It was a "Krankenlager" (camp for the sick) were typhus
patients were brought. The various head-stones at the end of those mounts,
indicating mass-graves, say:
5 000 dead lie here, April 1945; 15 000 dead lie here, April 1945; 6 000
dead lie here, April 1945; 10 000 dead lie here, April 1945 and so on.
Another monument, in the center of the realestate, proclaims something like:
"50 000 victims lie here, murdered by the bestial SS." The terrain is strewn
with hundreds of Jewish grave stones, and a stone plate, inconspiciously
mounted in the ground, proclaims: "The Grave Stones in this area have only
symbolical meaning. They do not mark Graves."
In other words, just another optical farce to promote hatred and play on the
gullible. There are NO mass-graves in Dachau or Buchenwald or Sachsenhausen.
I visited all those camps myself and searched and asked around. However,
Sachsenhausen (by Berlin) has a mass-grave of 50 000 Germans, murdered by the
Bolsheviks, who ran the camp after the war. Dachau has a mass-grave of approx
580 German prison guards (I was told a parking-lot for the police stationed
there was paved over it), murdered on the spot by the 42. US Rainbow Division
on the "Day of Liberation' (29. April 1945). Read: "The Hour of The Avenger",

>>So fill me in on these "design specifications". I have my own set of
drawings on the Krema both from Jewish sources and Revisionist. But, plan
views reveal nothing about the actual operation. All the evidence I have
indicates the Krema at Auschwitz-Birkenau were nothing out of the ordinary for
circa 1940 crematoria.
As you have so many questions about the operation of Auschwitz, I went to
the library and found a source, _Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp_ by
Yisrael Gutman and Michael Berenbaum, editors, which contains a wealth of
detailed information. Included are many technical drawings and photographs of
original documents. The text is heavily footnoted. I certainly cannot post
the whole book here, but I have taken the trouble to type up some relevant
extracts. If you have any specific questions, I will try to answer them:
In 1928, two engineers from Hamburg, Hans Volckmann and
Karl Ludwig, applied for a patent for a new kind of
incinerating furnace to be used for cremation. Until
then, a standard incinerating furnace had a core that
consisted of a crucible, or muffle, which took in the
coffin, and a burner. Added to this core was an
economizer, which retrieved heat from the combustion
gasses to channel it through a complex heat exchanger
back into the crucible. The economizer made it possible
to shut off the burner at an early stage of the
incineration process and continue it with the energy
already absorbed into the furnace. Yet there was one
problem: though the economizer saved on fuel, it was
expensive to construct. The complex system of overlapping
circuits sometimes took up as much as two-thirds of the
total mass of the furnace. Volckmann and Ludwig aimed
to slash the prevailing prices by replacing the cumbersome
economizer with a cheaper system based on the introduction
of compressed cold air into the crucible.
The patent did not bring the expected riches, and by the
end of 1934, Volckmann and Ludwig's system had disappeared
from the German market. But another company was able to
capitalize on the idea. Kurt Pruefer (figure 1), an
engineer in the small department of cremation construction
of the reputable Erfurt firm of Topf and Sons, famous for
industrial blast furnaces, adapted Volckmann and Ludwig's
idea, and in 1935, Topf installed in various crematoria
seven gas-heated furnaces without an economizer that used
compressed air instead.
Topf's crematorium furnaces had acquired a good reputation
when, in 1937, a new market opened. In May, the SS
leadership in Munich decided to build a crematorium in the
concentration camp at Dachau and invited bids for a furnace.
Until that year, Nazi concentration camps had used the
crematoria of the nearest towns to incinerate the remains
of prisoners who died in the camps. Yet at times that
created inopportune publicity; also, the mortality rate
in the camps sometimes exceeded the limited capacity of
the civilian crematoria.
A response to the SS invitation came from Walter Mueller
of Allach, a firm that had a proven record with the
Munich SS, as it had built the central heating system
for the local SS barracks and the SS training camp
at Dachau. . . .
Mueller claimed that there was a direct relation between
increased use and increased economy. If the cold furnace
required 175 kilograms (kg) of coke to start up a new
incineration, it needed only 100 kg if it had been used
the day before; a second and third incineration on the
same day would not require any extra fuel, thanks to the
compressed air; and those that followed would call for
only small amounts of extra energy. . . .
In the spring of 1939, the issue of the crematoria acquired
new urgency. By that time, a new office in Berlin had
taken control of SS construction activities in the
concentration camps. This Central SS Office of Budget
and Building (SS-Hauptamt Haushalt und Bauten, or SS-HHB),
with the resources to finance and service the building and
operation of crematoria, awarded Topf and Sons the Dachau
contract because Pruefer realized that a concentration
camp didn't need an indestructible civilian furnace
embellished with a marble neo-Grecian pediment, as
Mueller had proposed. Instead, Pruefer proposed a
stripped down mobile furnace with two incinerating
muffles, a fuel oil burner, a system to blow compressed
air into the muffles, and forced draft. Its estimated
yield was two corpses an hour. . . .
By the time Topf began construction of the Dachau furnace,
Poland had been carved up between Germany and the Soviet
Union. Germany not only recovered its pre-1919 eastern
territories but also annexed additional land that before
the First World War had belonged to Russian and Austrian
Poland. This strip of land included the town of Oswiecim,
or Auschwitz, as the Germans knew it. The town of 12,000
inhabitants was located at an important railway junction,
allowing easy communication with Berlin, Warsaw, Lwow
(Lemberg), and Vienna. And in its suburb of Zasole stood
22 sturdy Polish army barracks, deserted since the end of
hostilities.
In early 1940, the SS decided to install in the former
army base a camp for quarantining 10,000 Polish prisoners.
The camp was to have its own incinerating furnace. The
SS-HHB requested Topf to submit estimates for a mobile,
double-muffle oil-heated furnace at Asuchwitz and one at
the concentration camp at Flossenberg. . . .
On May 10, 1940, German forces attacked the Low Countries
and France, and gasoline, petroleum, and fuel oil were
rationed in Germany. Because all the furnaces in the
concentration camps had oil burners, it was likely that
the crematoria would now face shortages. . . .
At the end of May, the Auschwitz Neubauleitung (New
Construction Administration) communicated to Topf that
the mobile furnace it had on order should use coke.
Pruefer decided not to tamper with the mobile model,
which could not be so easily adapted, but instead to
redesign the fixed, double-muffle furnace supplied
earlier to Buchenwald (figure 5). Both Auschwitz
and Flossenberg went along with the modification, which
added two external coke burners on both sides of the
underground flue that linked the furnace to the
smokestack.
As Pruefer was remodeling the Buchenwald furnace, the
Auschwitz Neubauleitung began on June 28 to adapt an
old powder magazine on the former army base into a shell
for the new crematorium. Wilhelm Koch and another
overseer from Topf arrived at the site on July 5. They
decided to rotate the furnace 90 degrees in relation to
the underground flue in order to obtain the most efficient
use of the available space. Twenty days later, the furnace
was installed at Auschwitz (figure 6).
Equipped with an electric forced-draft fan capable of
removing 4,000 cubic meters (cu m) of smoke an hour and
fitted with an electric blower to inject blasts of
cold air into the crucibles, the furnace was 50 percent
more powerful than the Dachau model of 1939. Fritz
Sander and Paul Erdemann, Pruefer's superiors at Topf,
estimated an output of 30 to 36 bodies in 10 hours, or
about 70 bodies for a 20-hour cycle. The furnace required
three hours of maintenance a day. Yet the furnace could
not yet be tested. The Bauleitung had not completed the
10-m smokestack. Only on August 15 was everything ready,
and a first cremation was carried out satisfactorily in
what came to be known as Auschwitz's crematorium I. . . .

In Auschtwitz, preparations were under way for the
construction of a second double-muffle furnace at the
crematorium, for which Topf had quoted the same price
as for the first (7,753 RM), yet which did not include
a forced-draft ventilator. That was not an oversight;
Pruefer assumed that the already-installed ventilator
would suffice for two furnaces. . . . They decided to
build a second furnace alongside the first . . . .
At the beginning of January 1941, the first furnace in the
crematorium at Auschwitz broke down, giving new urgency
to the construction of the second furnace. On January 17,
a railway car left Erfurt with parts to repair the damaged
furnace and material for the construction of the second
one. Work began on January 20 and was finished a month
later. Topf, however, had failed to send a modified
design for the ventilation of the crematorium, and as its
construction had become urgent, Schlachter turned to the
firm of Friedrich Boos, which was about to install central
heating in the SS guards' quarters. Having the requisite
material and technology for the ventilation system, Boos
constructed it between February 23 and March 1. SS
Corporal Pery Broad of the Political Department (Gestapo)
described it as a large curved pipe rising from the roof
[of the crematorium], which gave off a monotonous sound . . .
a ventilator suction device designed to purify the air
in the incineration chamber [and the morgue] . . .
The first visit to Auschwitz, on March 1, 1941, of SS
chief Heinrich Himmler was a watershed in the history
of the camp. Himmler decided to enlarge the camp to hold
30,000 prisoners and to create at nearby Birkenau a camp
for 100,000 prisoners of war. Furthermore, he decided
to provide to provide IG Farben-industrie with 10,000
prisoners for building an industrial zone dedicated to
the production of methanol and synthetic rubber, to increase
agricultural activity within the camp zone, and to develop
the camp's workshops. Himmler also announced that an
armaments plant would be installed close to the camp.
The 100,000 prisoners of war were to be used as a labor
force for the cremation of a colonly (Siedlung) at
Auschwitz. In this vast scheme for the total Germanization
of the city and its surroundings, Auschwitz was to be a
pilot project and the seedbed for other German colonies
in the east. For a year and a half, an architect from
Breslau worked on the planning of this city. Only the
Nazi defeat at Stalingrad on January 31, 1943, put an
end to his labors.
Himmler's plans did not affect ongoing activities at the
Auschwitz crematorium. The second furnace proved
unsatisfactory for lack of proper draft. After
unsatisfactory communications with Topf, Schlachter
decided to address the problem himself. Increasing the
height of the smokestack to 20 m got the draft going
again.
Another and ultimately more pernicious problem was a
situation stemming from the close presence of
SS-Untersturmfuehrer Maximilian Grabner, head of the
Political Department of the camp. Grabner used a hut
right behind the crematorium for his Gestapo interrogations
and the morgue as his place of execution. When both
furnaces were going, which happened almost every day,
they released so much heat that the ventilation system,
which was supposed to extract air from the morgue, actually
sent hot air into it from the furnace room. The only
way to prevent this was to disconnect the morgue from the
ventilation system -- with unwanted consequences in the
hot summer air. Grabner denounced this "scandal" to the
Bauleitung and asked that it equip the morgue with two
ventilators, one to bring fresh air in (to aerate,
belueften) and one to take stale air out (to dearate, or
entlueften) and discharge it in conformity with the earlier
plans through the smokestack.
The continuous incinerations had done more than just
disturb Grabner's comfort. They had also cracked the
smokestack. All cremation was stopped between June 23
and 28 to hoop the chimney with iron bands. . . .
In Auschwitz, preparations began for the construction of
the prisoner-of-war camp (Kriegsgefangenlager; or KGL)
that Himmler had ordered set up at Birkenau. On October 1,
1941, the chief of the buildings of the SS-HHB,
SS-Oberfuehrer Hans Kammler, appointed SS-Hauptsturmfuehrer
Karl Bischoff to head a special office to oversee
construction of the camp (Sonderbauleitung fuer die
Errichtung eines KGL). . . .
Pruefer convinced Bischoff to create the necessary
incineration capacity at the POW facility by grouping
three incinerating crucibles in a single furnace and
lining the necessary number of furnaces next to each
other. That would make it possible to create a large
incineration capacity in one relatively compact building.
The triple-muffle furnace seemed a natural evolution of
Topf's double-muffle model, and the arrangement combined
efficiency with economy (figure 13). Pruefer did not yet
dare to suggest a quadruple-muffle model.
Assuming one crucible for 8,000 prisoners, Pruefer
calculated that 15 crucibles would suffice. That
translated into five furnaces of three crucibles each,
linked to a common smokestack. Pruefer calculated
that each crucible could handle two bodies every
30 minutes and that the installation as a whole
therefore would be capable of burning 60 bodies an
hour, or 1,440 bodies in 24 hours. Running day and
night, the new crematorium theoretically could incinerate
all the inmates of the projected camp in three or four
months.
The building was not to be at Birkenau but in Auschwitz's
main camp, behind the existing crematorium, across from
the administration building. Pruefer sketched a plan for
a crematorium measuring 55 to 60 m by 12 m (175 feet by
37 feet). Its center was to be a large furnace room.
Adjacent to it were to be a storage room for coke, rooms
for washing and laying out corpses that had been selected
for dissection, and an autopsy room, replacing the autopsy
room of the existing crematorium, which would be displaced
by the third furnace. A central projecting wing was to
house a furnace for burning refuse, two ventilators to
create a forced draft, and a double smokestack. The basement
was to have two vast morgues. One morgue was to store
fresh bodies; the other was for corpses about to be
incinerated. An elevator was to connect the morgues to
the furnace and autopsy rooms. . . .
In Erfurt, meanwhile, Topf worked on the design of the
furnaces for the new crematorium. As the size of the
crucibles in the triple-muffle furnace was larger than
those in the double-muffle furnaces, the firm decided
to increase from two to three the number of ventilators
to create a forced draft. It was also decided to increase
their total extractive power from 20,000 to 120,000 cu m
an hour. One of the brothers who owned the firm,
Ernst-Wolfgang Topf, assured the Sonderbauleitun that the
installation being built would be appropriate and
well-designed. . . .
Schulze assigned an hourly extraction capacity of 10 cu m
for each cu m in each room to be ventilated. To achieve
this, he proposed for the 483-cu-m B. Keller, which was
to be both aerated and deaerated, a double system run by
two 2-hp blowers, which could bring 4,800 cu m of fresh
air into the room each hour and extract 4,000 cu m of air
from the room. The L. Keller, which was double the size
of the B. Keller, was to be deaerated only and was to
receive a ventilation system with a 5.5 blower capable
of extracting 10,000 cu m of air an hour. A similar
system was to be installed in the furnace room, which had
roughly the same volume as the L. Keller. The rooms that
served for dissections totaled 300 cu m of air an hour. . . .
Pruefer by now had acquired a reputation at the SS-HHB as a
"magician" of cremation. In mid-November 1941, the head
of technical operations of the SS-HHB building department,
SS-Stuermbannfuhrer Wirtz, invited Pruefer to Berlin. The
topic of discussion was the installation of a "cremation site"
at Mogilev, in Russia. . .

Amid the excitement of the Mogilev contract, Topf also had
to look after the installation of the third furnace for
crematorium I at Auschwitz. On November 20, an overseer
named A. Mahr had begun laying the foundations for the
furnace. He worked for three weeks, but could not continue
because the Collmener Schamottenwerke of Colditz in Saxony
had not delivered the fireclay to Topf. Mahr returned to
Erfurt.
Shortly after Mahr's departure, the first lethal gassing
was carried out whith Zyklon B at Auschwitz in the cellars
of block 11. Zyklon B, a hydrocyanic acid (prussic acid)
pesticide, was made by the Degresch company of Frankfurt
am Main and supplied through a wholesaler, Tesch and
Stabenow of Hamburg. It was available in metal containers
of four sizes (200 g, 500 g, 1 kg, and 1.5 kg), which also
included an inert, porous medium and an irritant designed
to alert the unprotected user to the presence of the
odorless gas. Under most conditions, the pesticide was not
dangerous, as the prussic acid would only vaporize at a
tempeature of 27 degrees Celsius. Zyklon B had first
been introduced at Auschwitz in July 1940, when it was used
to fumigate the former Polish barracks, which were to house
the camp's SS guards. It had remained a staple fumigant
through 1940 and 1941.
In December 1941, Zykon B was administered for the first time
not to vermin but to 250 "incurable" concentration camp
inmates and 600 Soviet prisoners of war. According to Hoess
(who was away at the time), death was immediate. Others
claimed that some victims were still alive two days later
and that it was necessary to introduce a second batch of
poison. The killers were experimenting; they did not yet
know yet how much Zklon B was lethal for how many people,
and they did not fully realize that hydrogen cyanide vaporizes
only at 27 degrees Celsius. The basement block 11 had not
been heated. Cremation of the 850 victims also presented
an unexpected problem: the intensive operation caused the
second furnace to deteriorate.
When the experiment was over, it had become clear that the
cellars of block 11 were less than ideal as gas chambers
because of lack of ventilation. Also, the distance from
block 11 to the crematorium was too great -- the killers
did not want to move 850 corpses through the main street
of the camp. The morgue of the crematorium recommended
itself as a more efficient gas chamber. It had a mechanical
ventilation system that could extract the poison gas, and
being a one-story structure, it provided an easy means of
introducing Zyklon-B into the room through three square
stacks to be created on the roof.
The new gas chamber in the morgue at crematorium I operated
probably intermittently from January 1942 until May, when
it had to be shut down for construction of the third
furnace. By that time it had become clear that the
crematorium did not provide the "privacy" necessary for
the gassings, and shortly before Topf's men moved in to
construct the new furnace, the decision was made to
transfer the gassings to Birkenau.
By the end of January 1942, Pruefer returned to Auschwitz
to plan the building of the third furnace for crematorium I
and, probably in response to Bischoff's wish, to discuss
the possibility of constructing a backup incineration
facility in Birkenau in addition to a new crematorium.
Pruefer now proposed a crematorium with two stripped-down
versions of his triple-muffle furnace, without a
compressed-air blower and using only a small amount of iron
in their structure. . . .
But then Kammler, who had become head of the building
department of the powerful succesor to the SS-HHB, the
SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt (SS-WVHA, or
Economic-Administrative Main Office), annulled the project
during his visit of February 27. He suggested that it made
more sense to build the new crematorium at Birkenau. . . .
In mid-March, Bischoff received new calculations from
Shulze. After reviewing the original numbers, he had
decided that it was better to increase the total capacity
of the ventilation system of the new crematorium, now
to be built at Birkenau, from 32,600 cu m of air an hour
to 45,000 an hour. The room most affected by this was
the B. Keller, which was to receive a system capable of
aerating and deaerating 8,000 instead of 4,800 cu m an
hour, that is, a 66-percent increase. . . .
On April 30, a railroad car arrived in Auschwitz from
Erfurt loaded with 11 tons of material, which included
two-thirds of the metal parts and all the compressed-air
blowers for the five triple-muffle furnaces to be build
in the new crematorium in Birkenau, the iron fittings
needed for the third double-muffle furnace of crematorium I,
and all the deaeration equipment. Most of the car's
contents were stockpiled. Only the iron fittings for
the third double-muffle furnace were of immediate use.
At the same time, Pruefer was supervising the construction
at Buchenwald of the first of two triple-muffle furnaces.
He had hoped that early completion would provide him
with concrete data before setting up five similar furnaces
in Birkenau. At the end of May, the furnace was completed
except for the compressed-air blower. . . . Extrapolating
from the Buchenwald data for Auschwitz, Pruefer concluded
that the five furnaces of the new crematorium in Birkenau
could incinerate 800 corpses in 24 hours. That was
sharply lower than the original figure of 1,440 mentioned
a year earlier.
In May, Hoess selected a little farmhouse (the "little red
house") on the edge of the birch forest at Birkenau to be
the new gas chamber. It was to replace the morgue in the
first crematorium, which was undergoing repairs. The house,
measuring 60-80 sq m, consisted of two rooms into which 500
persons could be crammed. The doors were made airtight, the
windows were walled up, and small openings were installed
to extract the gas from the two rooms. The executions were
to occur in the evening; open for the whole night. By
daybreak, it would be possible to remove the bodies without
danger and transport them to burial pits dug in the birch
forest. Bunker 1, as the execution site was to be known,
entered into service that month (May 1942).
The crematorium in the main camp was in the meantime repaired
and modified. On May 30, everything seemed ready, but at
the three furnaces were started up, something went wrong.
The hooping of the smokestack broke off, deep cracks appeared
in the masonry, and the men of the Political Department
began to fear that the smokestack would collapse on their
offices. Bischoff ordered an investigation, and on the basis
of the report, Kammler approved a complete overhaul.
A local expert, engineer Robert Koehler from Myslowitz,
recommended a new smokestack 25 to 30 m high. Grabner
howled, demanding that the smokestack not exceed 10 m.
Koehler realized that he could accomodate Grabner's
wishes by connecting the 10-m smokestack to a 20 m
underground flue, creating a "virtual" chimney height
of 30 m. Yet there was no room to do this. Bischoff
asked a second opinion from Topf. The firm responded
that 15 m would suffice. Then Koehler added a 12-m
connecting flue to Topf's smokestack and obtained a
draft 27 m long. Work began on June 12.
To this point, Auschwitz had played a completely marginal
role in the killing of Jews. The cumulative evidence of
documents in the archive of the Zentralbauleitung proves
that the adaptation of the camp for genocidial purposes
only started in June 1942. This conclusion contradicts
Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess's statement, made in
1946, that Himmler had informed him that Birkenau would
be used as a killing center in the summer of 1941. The
evidence suggests that Hoess retrospectively confused
1941 with 1942. Himmler must have summoned Hoess to Berlin
at the beginning of June 1942 to inform him about the
future use of the camp. One condition that justified
the choice of Auschwitz applied both in 1941 and 1942: the
camp's excellent rail connections. But another factor of
prime importance had arisen only since the end of 1941:
and extraordinary crematorium capable of incinerating
1,440 (or was it only 800?) corpses a day. It was the
combination of these two circumstances that made Auschwitz
attractive to Himmler.

The mass murders were to begin on July 1. That created a
problem: the crematorium existed only in plan. Since May
17, a single detachment of 100 prisoners had been digging
the foundations, but that was all. Furthermore, bunker 1
could not be used for continuous gassing, since it had
no mechanical ventilation to speedily extract the gas.
In addition, the camp was short of materials. Yet such
considerations were mere cavils for Himmler, and he trusted
that Hoess would be able to find a solution.
Not far from bunker 1 was another farmhouse, whitewashed
and, with a surface of 105 sq m, slightly larger than the
"little red house." Hoess decided to transform it into a
gas chamber following the pattern of bunker 1. The place
could hold 800 persons.
Bischoff was called in to advise on the ventilation. He
recalled an article by Dr. G. Peters, director of Degesch,
the manufacturer of Zykon B, which described a delousing
system using Zyklon B with eight little gas chambers of
10 cu m each, set up side by side. Each cell had two
gas-tight doors (made of metal or wood), one serving to
take in personal effects on the dirty side and the other
to remove them on the clean side. There was a radiator
for heating and interior circular ventilation which assured,
first, the regular passage of the agent over the goods to
be deloused and second, when the 60- to 90-minute treatment
was over, efficient deaeration. . . .
It was easy to install a modified form of the parallel rooms
with doors at both sides in the little farmhouse. Yet the
radiators to provide circular aeration posed a problem. This
system had to be set up by Boos, and the delivery process
would be subject to long delays. It was decided to drop
this idea and limit the modification to the installation of
four small parallel gas chambers of 50 cu m each. As the
gas chambers were oriented to the prevailing wind direction
(north-south in Birkenau), it was thought that natural
ventilation would suffice. The method for introducing the
poison gas was copied from bunker 1. One or two 500-g boxes
of Zyklon B per cell would cause rapid death. The "little
white house" or bunker 2 was operational by the end of June
1942.
Nature competed with man to create mass death in Auschwitz.
SS doctors were confronted in May with a massive outbreak
of typhoid fever as the result of untreated water. By the
end of June, SS officers and employees of the camps' 17
civilian firms were forbidden to drink the camp's water.
Mineral water was provided free. To make matters worse,
typhus broke out . . .
All of this happened while the camp had no crematorium to
clean up after the killers. As a result of setting up the
third furnace and building the new smokestack, the
crematorium had been especially noticeable once the typhus
epidemic began multiplying the corpses. (In his memoirs,
Hoess dates this stoppage to the winter 1941-42.) Thus
10,000 bodies that ought to have been incinerated had been
buried in pits in the birch forest at Birkenau along with
the bodies of unfit Jews who had been gassed. Once started
up again after completion of the new smokestack on August 8,
the three double-muffle furnaces operated at their maximum
capacity (200 to 250 incinerations a day). That caused new
damage to the smokestack on August 13. It became clear that
this first crematorium was nearing the end of its career.
Even two months earlier, as more and more Jews were being
killed on arrival, completion of the new crematorium had
become a matter of the highest urgency. On June 18, a
railway car had left Erfurt with five tons of material,
comprising the missing parts of the five triple-muffle
furnaces, the furnace for refuse, and the three blowers
for the forced draft. The 1.5-hp motors followed on
August 6. . . .
In a report filed three months later with the WVHA, the
Auschwitz Zentralbauleitung indicated that it had been
necessary to set about building the new crematorium
immediately owing to the situation created by the
"special actions." This statement formally confirms
the essential role played by the new crematorium in the
choice of Auschwitz as the site for the annihilation of
Jews. Originally envisaged as a normal instrument of
sanitation for a prisoner-of-war camp, this crematorium
had taken on a new importance thanks to the combination
of Pruefer's commericial convictions, professional passions,
creative genius, and cordial ties with Bischoff.
Slowly the men in the WVHA had begun to associate the
"final solution of the Jewish problem" with the capacity
of the new crematorium -- or crematoria, as Bischoff had
begun to consider the construction of a second crematorium
in Birkenau. Himmler had ordered that the camp should
accomodate 200,000 inmates, and the Zentralbauleitung had
completed a design for the enlarged camp at the end of
July. The corollary to this increase in population was
an extra crematorium. For the sake of architectural
balance, Bischoff decided to erect the two buildings side
by side, each the mirror image of the other (figure 20).
the number of incinerating crucibles was raised to 30, or one
for every 6,670 prisoners. Yet perhaps even that would not
be enough, as convoy after convoy poured in . . .
Bischoff had already decided on a a second crematorium with
15 crucibles alongside the first. He also had considered
building an incinerator alongside bunkers 1 and 2 to absorb
their "production," which, according to Himmler's order,
must no longer be buried but burned. With so many crematoria
under consideration, Bischoff introduced a new nomenclature.
The existing crematorium in Auschwitz was to be called
crematorium I; crematoria II through V were to be built
eventually in Birkenau. Crematoria II and III were to be
equipped with five three-muffle furnaces each. Crematoria
IV was to be erected next to bunker 2, and crematorium V
next to bunker 1. . . .
Pruefer now considered the technical aspects of crematoria
IV and V. The stripped-down triple-muffle furnace, which
he had proposed for the first Birkenau crematorium earlier
that year, had not been further developed. Pressed for an
instant solution, Pruefer recalled the proposed Mogilev
double furnaces with four muffles. As the series was
already in production, the Erfurt factory could rapidly
manufacture others . . .
On the morning of August 19, Pruefer went to the Auschwitz
Bauhof, the warehouse where materials were stockpiled, to
see whether all the metal part of the triple-muffle furnaces
were received and were in good condition. . . .
After lunch, Pruefer attended a meeting with the smokestack
expert Robert Koehler at the Bauleitung chaired by SS Second
Lieutenant Fritz Ertl (Bischoff had been called to Berlin).
They decided to begin construction of the five furnaces for
crematorium II as soon as Martin Holick, who had jsut
started up the first triple-muffle furnace at Buchenwald,
was on hand. Koehler would line up the furnaces and build
the underground flues and the common smokestack with three
ducts.
Pruefer proposed fitting crematoria IV and V with the
four-muffle double furnaces that had been readied for
delivery to Mogilev. He noted that the SS-WVHA had been
informed and was negotiating a transfer with the
Bauleitung of Russland-Mitte. Koehler was to be responsible
for the four smokestacks. . . .
It was clear to all participants in this meeting that
crematoria IV and V were to be involved in mass murder.
Ertl, in his report on the meeting, designated bunkers
1 and 2, located in the Sperrgebiet at Birkenau, as
"bath installations for special action" (figure 22).
Kohler took personal responsibility at the meeting for
committing his own firm to these "special works." Pruefer
did not have full power to commit his company to such a
deal, so he acted on his own. . . .

The final item on the agenda was crematorium III, the
reversed counterpart of crematorium II (figure 20). It
was to be constructed last, because the opening of its
work site depended entirely on negotiations under way with
the SS-RSHA (the Reichsicherheitshauptamt, or Reich Main
Security Office) to get the release of the needed iron. . . .
Eleven civilian companies were involved with the construction
of the new crematoria in Birkenau. Topf was to build the
furnaces and install the ventilation systems. The Koehler
company from Myslowitz was to set up the smokestacks. The
Huta firm from Kattowitz, which was already working on the
shell of crematorium II, began those of crematoria IV and
V before agreeing to build all of crematorium III. One of
Huta's subcontractors, the Vedag company from Breslau,
waterproofed the cellars of crematoria II and III. The
drainage of crematorium II, which had been started by
the Continentale Wasserwerks-Gesellshaft (Ltd.) of Berlin,
was continued by the Karl Falck company from Gleiwitz and
the Triton firm form Kattowitz. The latter two subsequently
handled the drainage of crematoria III, IV, and V. . .
Huta finished the floor and walls of the two underground
morgues of crematorium II at the end of August. But they
still had to be asphalted to protect them from water . . .
Bischoff pulled strings at the WVHA, and the desired asphalt
was released at the end of October. As a result, the morgues
of crematoria II and III were sealed tight just before the
winter rise of the groundwater. . . .
The approach of the Silesian winter made it more and more
difficult to use bunkers 1 and 2. The temperature outside
kept falling, and the prussic acid ceased to vaporize
properly. At the end of October 1942, the Zentralbauleitung
began to consider transfer of the gassing from bunkers 1 and
2 to a room in a crematorium . . .
It was decided to tranform morgue I of crematorium II into
a gas chamber. One indication that such a decision was
taken is a "leak" -- that is, any mention in a document
(writing, blueprint, photograph) of an abnormal use of the
crematoria that could not be explained except by the massive
gassing of human beings -- that occurred on November 27, when
one of Bischoff's assistants, Wolter, called Topf to ask for
a metalworker to install the ventilation systems of the
morgues of crematorium II. His colleague Janisch, who was
formally in charge of the site, canceled the request. Wolter
drew up a note to inform Bischoff what had happened. In
this note, he designated the corpse cellar in crematorium
II as a "special cellar" (Sonderkeller). This was not the
only slip. . . .
By November 1, the SS had become accustomed to the operational
procedure of bunkers 1 and 2, in which the victims undressed
in the barracks-stables, were gassed in the bunkers, and the
bodies dumped in the pits, and it made sense to apply it to
the crematoria. Yet the builders ran up against problems
with the layout and compatibility. For crematoria II and
III, the coice of Leichenkeller 1 (ventilated) as a gas
chamber was obvious. The SS also planned to use the two
remaining morgues as gas chambers, wrongly imagining that
the high yield anticipated for the five triple-muffle
furnaces would allow a staggered operation. In this
configuration, an outside undressing room was indispensable.
Moreover, it proved necessary to improve the ventilation
of Leichenkeller 2 (which was only deaerated) by adding an
aeration system to bring air into the room. After the
furnaces had been tested and their output better estimated,
it became clear that they could not handle the "yield" of
two gas chambers. Consequently, Leichenkeller 2 became an
undressing room. In this configuration, deaeration no longer
served any purpose (except to ventilate the body odors of
the victims, which could just as easily be done by a natural
air current).
Leichenkeller I proved in the end to be too large for a
gas chamber. At the end of 1943, in order to "regularize"
the operation of crematoria II and III, the camp administration
divided their gas chambers in two, allowing no more than
100 sq m for the killing of 1,000 new arrivals (unfit for
work) in 24 hours.
The first sketch of crematoria IV and V, dating from August
1942, showed only the incinerating section. In mid-October,
the Konrad Segnitz company, which was in charge of the roof,
drew it up in its definitive dimensions. The furnace hall
was extended by a vast morgue that measured 48 by 12 m
(576 sq m), which indicated that it was being used as the
"end of the chain." The undressing and gassing of the
victims was still taking place in bunker 2, but the corpses
were to be deposited in the morgue of crematorium IV to
be incinerated there.
Then the SS tried to put a gas chamber (heated with a
stove) at the center of the building, which would have
resulted in the disposition of victims from clothes
room to gas chamber to "storage" to sluice to the hall
with the eight-muffle furnace. Since no mechanical
ventilation had been planned for crematoria IV and V,
dearating a gas chamber there by natural means carried
with it too many risks of accidental poisoning. It was
decided to locate the gas chamber as far away from the
incinerators as possible. . . .
Crematoria IV and V had an incinerating yield much smaller
than that of II and III, and so their gas chambers had to
be more modest. The SS combined its need for low-capacity
gas chambers (100 sq m) for "treating" small groups of
victims with the idea of staggered operations, and thus
on January 11, 1943 it established the definitive blueprint
for the killing procedure at crematorium IV. . . .
Letters and telegrams exchanged on February 11 and 12 between
the Zentralbauleitung and Topf mention a wooden blower for
Leichenkeller 1. This reference confirms the use of the
morgue as a gas chamber: Bischoff and Prueffer thought that
the extraction of air mixed with concentrated prussic acid
(20 g per cu m) required a noncorroding ventilator (figure
24).
Other new elements of equipment needed for crematorium II
were detectors for measuring traces of prussic acid. Pruefer's
and Schultze's superiors at Topf and Sons, Sander and
Erdmann, were informed of this singular request. Sander
contacted several companies seeking the detectors. The
Zentralbauleitung urged in a telegram of February 26 the
immediate shipment of the gas detectors to Auschwitz, as the
gas chamber could not be completed without them.
Another point of concern was the power of the ventilation
system in the gas chamber. It had been designed to provide
high aeration and low deaeration, which fitted its use as
a morgue. As a gas chamber, it should work the other way
around. Sander and Pruefer wrote to the Zentralbauleitung
on March 2 (see figure 25 for the German original):
Re: Crematorium (II). We acknowledge the receipt of
your telegram stating: "Immediate shipment of 10 gas
detectors as agreed. Estimate to be furnished later."
Concerning the matter, we can tell you that for two
weeks now we have been making inquiries of five
different firms about the apparatus you want indicating
the traces of prussic acid [Anzeigegeraete fuer
Blausauere-Reste]. We have received negative responses
from 3 firms and we are still awaiting answers from the
2. When we receive further information on this subject,
we will let you know immediately so that we can put you
in touch with the firm making this apparatus. Heil Hitler!
. . . Another last-minute problem arose because of defective
arrangement of the three forced drafts around the smokestack.
Transfer of heat from the smokestack to the ventilation system
was to increase the temperature in all the rooms serviced
by the system. Pruefer had pointed out this drawback on
February 19 and had suggested channeling the excess heat
to morgue 1 -- a suggestion that clearly reveals that the
morgue, which must by definition remain cool, had become a
gas chamber. Heating the morgue would ensure a more rapid
diffusion of Zyklon B. . . .

Schulze went to Auschwitz on March 1, and Pruefer joined him
on March 4. That day the five triple-muffle furnaces in
crematorium II were tried out for the first time in the
presence of Pruefer, Schultz, SS men from the Bauleitung and
the Political Department, and high-ranking SS men from Berlin.
For this purpose, fifty corpses of overweight men had been
selected in bunker 2 and transported to crematorium II,
where they were put into the furnaces. The incineration
lasted, according to the rough estimate of Henryk Tauber, a
stoker from the Sonderkommando, 45 minutes. The officials,
who timed the incineration with watches in hand, noted that
it took longer than planned. After this trial, Pruefer
judged that the furnaces were not dry enough and recommended
that they be heated for a week without being used.
On March 10, Schulze and Messing tested the aeration and
deaeration systems of the gas chamber in crematorium II.
Apparently the installation was still not quite right,
because Messing continued to work on it on March 11 and 13.
Then, on the evening of Saturday, March 13, the ventilation
system was declared operational.
The same night, 1,492 women, children and old people, selected
from a convoy of 2,000 Jews from the Krakow ghetto, were
killed in the new crematorium. Six kilos of Zyklon B were
poured into the stacks that opened into the four grillework
columns implanted between the pillars that supported the
ceiling. Within five minutes, all the victims had succumbed.
The aeration (8,000 cu m an hour) and the deaeration system
(same strength) were then started up and, after 15 to 20
minutes, the atmosphere, which had been practically renewed
every three to four minutes, was sufficiently pure so that
members of the Sonderkommando could enter the stiflingly hot
gas chamber. During this first gassing, the Sonderkommandos
wore gas masks as a precaution. The bodies were untangled and
dragged to the goods elevator. Hair was clipped, gold teeth
pulled out, wedding rings and jewels removed. Once hoisted
into the furnace hall, the bodies were dragged into the
furnaces. Incineration of the 1,492 pieces lasted for two
days. . . .
Crematorium II was stopped on May 22 or 23, and the Koehler
company began to clear away the rubbish from the smokestack.
This job was completed on May 29, yet Kohler could not begin
the repairs because Pruefer's blueprints still had not
arrived. They did not arrive until a month later, at the
end of a bittersweet correspondence between the
Zentralbauleitung, Topf, and Koehler, in which each side cast
blame on the other for the damages and delays.
Crematorium II was finally delivered on March 31 at a cost
of 554,500 RM (1992: $2,215,000). The memorandum acknowledging
receipt of the building indicated that morgue 1 was equipped
with a gas-tight door, four "wire inserting devices"
(Drahtnetzeinschiebvorrichtung), i.e. grillework columns
for pouring Zyklon B into the gas chamber), and four
"wooden lids" (Holzblenden). The deaeration system of
morgue 2, which was of no interest once it became an
undressing room, was not equipped with a motor. Hence
the system was useless . . .
The delays in the completion of crematorium II in March had
made crematorium IV the first to be officially handed over to
the camp administration on March 22. It had cost 203,000 RM
(1992: $810,000). Again there are leaks that inform us
about the use of the building. On February 28, an
overseer from Riedel and Son, whose crew was finishing the
interior of the west section, had to put in "windows" of
solid wood with the chinks filled up. In his daily report,
he wrote, "Putting in gas-tight windows." On March 2, when
he had to asphalt the ground of the area where the gas-tight
windows had been put in, he wrote at the end of the day:
"Ground to be asphalted in gas chamber."
The first gassing in crematorium IV did not go well. An
SS man, wearing a face mask, had to climb a little ladder
to get to a "window," then open it with one hand and pour
in Zykon B with the other. This acrobatic routine had
to be repeated six times. When the gas-tight doors were
opened to evacuate the gas, it was noticed that the natural
aeration was ineffective; a door had to be cut immediately
into the north corridor to get an air current flowing. . . .
Within a week crematorium II had been brought back into
operation, and the Zentralbauleitung submitted a report
to the WVHA showing the camp's daily incinerating
output, calculated by taking as a "unit" 70 to 100 kg
of animal remains. There seems to be a large discrepancy
between these official figures and the potential output:
340 kg versus 250 kg for crematorium I; 1,400 kg versus
1,000 kg for crematoria II and III; and 768 kg versus
500 kg for crematoria IV and V. (Real output, of course
was considerably less, since all the crematoria were not in
use.) Nevertheless the figures were valid in a way; the time
it took to incinerate two children weighing 10 kg each and
a woman weighing 50 kg was equal to that for a man weighing
70 kg. This introduces a multiplying factor varying from
one to three and makes all the statistics of crematorium
output a matter of chance. The estimated yield of crematoria
IV and V had been calculated on the basis of crematorium II,
assuming that each muffle had the same capacity as one in
crematoria II and III.
But the estimate was more than optimistic. At the end of
June, crematorium IV was out of service and crematorium II
was stopped. At the end of July crematorium I was neutralized
at the request of the political department. As for crematorium
V, it would not be used after September because crematoria II
(repaired) and II would thereafter suffice to "treat" the
daily flow of convoys of Jews. . . .
The massacre of Hungarian Jews in May and June 1944 was
carried out principally in crematoria II, III and V.
The furnace of crematorium V was rapidly overwhelmed, and
pits were dug alongside its gas chambers to incinerate the
victims in the open air. Also, bunker 2 was reactivated
for the occasion to handle small groups, whose bodies
were burned in an incineration pit measuring 30 sq m.
Toward the end of th summer, when Zyklon B began to run
short, victims were flung headlong into the burning pits
of crematorium V and bunker 2. . . .
On October 7, 1944, members of the Sonderkommando at
Birkenau revolted. Crematorium IV, where most of them
were lodged, was set on fire. The insurrection was
put down violently by the SS. The building was then
torn down, and the metal elements from the stoves were
retrieved and stored in the Bauhof.
At the end of November, on a verbal order from Himmler, the
gassings were halted. A demolition commando, formed at
the beginning of December, then dismantled crematoria II
and III. Crematorium V continued to be used, but henceforth
in a "normal" fashion, for the incineration of persons who
died "naturally."
By mid-January 1945, nothing was left of crematoria II and III
but their asphalted carcasses. The camp complex was evacuated
on January 18. At noon on January 20, the SS blew up the
resistant structures of crematoria II and II. Crematorium V,
still intact, was dynamited at 1:00 A.M. on January 22, and on
January 27, Soviet soldiers arrived at the snow-covered rubble
of the four structures. . . .
